Meditations On Paint Finishes & Colors
MikeMc replied to Dr. Cranky's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've seen less of the Tribal graphics and more leaning toward the industrial--techno airbrush jobs... Tear aways are also seeing more action -

Too much Dawn will damage your skin.......it will dry out, crack and peel. Old machinists trick....powdered pumice and cold water...Use gloves for handling and painting

Charlie....Do not spend $120 on your AE1.....the foam shields are on the door edges....a narrow ribbon of felt will work....use pliobond to cement it down. In the thousands of AE 1s I serviced....repairs were normally not needed...well made and well timed camera..the release magnet (MG2) was the biggest problem. When it was bad...the camera will not set the mirror tension and self trips... -

question about dupicolor color match
MikeMc replied to martinfan5's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Too much at once....I shoot duplacolor and HOK without future,,,just duplicolor primer -
I too have a large order in,,,,,Larry did get a lot of water and seems to be a bit frazzled, but assured me he would be shipping mine soon. He did answer his phone and explained what was going on with the flooding. Then he called back to thank me for resending all my info. Seems like a good guy. Got my shipper confirmation today.....

Charlie....almost any camera that had interchangeable lenses has F Stops....(aperature) many range finder types also had fully adjustable apertures. I have or have owned almost all manual cameras made....Leica to Deardorf to Hasselblad.....All have adjustable F stops..... My 4x5 view goes down to f64....along with the swings and tilts....everything can be in or out of focus..... The DOF is marked on most manual and automatic lenses....in some AF lenses....its controlled by the body -
Its like D Plane....D Plane!!!!!

LIGHT .....Lots of light, try to focus in the middle of the picture....( deep not the square)...More light, back off and drop the ASA / ISO as low as you can. This will generally let the lens open all the way ...that will increase the DOF....Depth of Field.....Focus to the middle and let the depth of FOCUS help you. Digital cameras do not have the DOF that still silver cameras had. For example.....on the shot above....focus on the inside mirror.....(if your camera has a focus assist beam...turn the lights OFF....see where the focus beam is..remember that and use it....by focusing and not lifting the finger from the release button, most cameras lock the focus) Also a tripod will matter with slow shutter speeds, stopping camera shake, which gives a blurred image overall -

Can't Paint Anymore!
MikeMc replied to SuperStockAndy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
WHOA Andy!!!! $$$$$$$$ I know it does cost a bit.......but if you want killer paint, or even a 1/2 way rat finish follow the #1 rule of any good painter. Do it the same way every time !!! You should use primer....its cheap and the big cans go a long way.....Prime it all...then you will find molding lines or divots quick sand clean dry spray color, dry spray clear, put away and build car..... Reading above some primed some not....it will look like that...different, no matter what paint you use...HOK to Testors... If it used to be good the painter changed something....so you need to think and remember (I can't) or write it down....then you can see what works for you and what doesn't....plan your work and work your plan.... You can get stunning paint with Tamiya or Model Master lacquers without primer... -_- -
